Chapter 658: The Gulf Territory does not accept temptation (8000)

"The materials used to build the camp should be as heat-resistant and poison-proof as possible, and the sturdiness is also extremely necessary."

"Restrict the production of teleportation circles. It is best to use the golem train to transport items."

"Most demonic creatures can almost be called natural space monsters, and they usually have some special space abilities."

"As for the devil's bewitching words and chaotic techniques, for the soldiers in the Gulf Territory, they are the least of their worries."

When saying this, Iris was filled with emotion.

He couldn't help but think in his mind that if the team that hunted demons in the past had such professional and forward-looking preparations from the Gulf Territory, there would not always be heavy casualties.

For Iris, dangerous demons are both prey and terrifying hunters.

They are a team that hunts demons, walking across thousands of mountains and rivers, looking for these monsters that break the boundaries.

They use themselves as a line of defense to protect the earthly and material planes.

They usually end up dead, dying in dangerous hunts again and again.

However, at that time, Iris was willing.

Until the incident 20 years ago!
Before meeting the Gulf Territory, Iris maintained a pessimistic attitude towards most civilizations and kingdoms.

He believes that under the terrible threat of demons, most organizations and territories are ignorant and have no idea where the real danger comes from.

Once disaster strikes, everything they have now will be ruthlessly destroyed.

But they are ignorant. Most of the time, not only will they not bring help, they will also become the devil's accomplices and troubles.

Gradually, most of the team members, including Archaon and Iris, had the idea and consciousness that they were the saviors.

This is an idea they formed after trying other methods and failing.

Knowing that there are more and more demons and dangers, and that ruins and evil appear more and more frequently, they also have more thoughts and ideas.

If this continues, their team will lose more and more people, fewer and fewer people will be willing to join the team, and disasters in the material plane will continue to increase.

With the help of a fatal accident, they made a bold attempt when they parted.

Efforts have been made to gain more autonomy, climb to a higher position, gather more resources, and form a larger and more powerful guard team.

However, Iris soon discovered that they thought "too much".

Many honors were ruined, and many plans were aborted before they even started.

In the Elf Kingdom of Cole, a kingdom where classes are solidified to a terrifying degree, even Iris and Archaon have a very difficult time climbing up.

Iris did not want to comment on the latter's "plan", but he himself did not want to be a "tool" anymore.

After being caught by the Gulf Territory, Iris originally thought that he would be imprisoned in a cage by the Gulf Territory like other Cole elves, and would also become an experimental subject to redeem his sins.

Even Iris couldn't help but suspect that the other party would conduct more experiments and "torture" on him, a legendary professional.

But to Iris's surprise, the Gulf leader simply "understood" and "questioned" him.

Especially when Iris told him about his past experience in hunting demons, he received "special" treatment from the Gulf Territory.

Matthew personally "examined" Iris' body and gained a lot of valuable experience and information.

At the same time, it also recorded the secrets and information about many demons, evil objects, and ruins that Iris had come into contact with before.

After that, Iris gained a certain degree of freedom, and unexpectedly received a "reward" from Matthew.

"No one knows your deeds, and no one forgets your contributions."

"Maybe others will, but we in the Gulf won't."

"You guys! You just like personal heroism too much. There is no need to put so much pressure on yourself..."

"Your contribution will allow you to obtain some of the magic weapons and equipment you want, as well as a certain degree of freedom."

"But the mistakes you committed will also not be forgiven, so you must accept punishment."

The well-organized arrangements give Iris an extremely special feeling.

He saw the Gulf leaders conducting various "interrogations", "investigations", "verifications" and "trials" on him in a strict manner.

And throughout the process, there are many representatives from different positions and races to supervise to ensure that the entire process is fair, open and just.

When the judge calmly announced the verdict to him based on his crime and contribution.

Iris felt that some of the ideas and thoughts in his mind were severely broken.

He went from being a lofty savior to becoming a mortal again.

Such a change made him feel extremely excited and happy.

To be more precise, it was the attitude and way the Gulf Territory treated him that made Iris feel truly "civilized".

It was under this circumstance that Iris happily joined the Gulf Territory after accepting the outcome of his trial.

After carefully watching many dragon warrior transformation surgeries, he also made a request to Matthew to undergo surgical transformation.

Matthew agreed to his request, but did not immediately prepare him for surgery. Instead, he arranged for him to actively conduct training in various skills and expertise.

Even legendary professionals must abide by the preparation arrangements for surgical transformation.

After all, in Matthew's view, it is precisely because Iris is so rare that he must prepare carefully to obtain better data and information.

In response to Matthew's caution, Iris, who understood part of the principles of the transformation surgery, readily agreed.

The development of the Gulf Territory to this point is enough to be considered a success in the eyes of Iris.

As for him, a "loser", all he had to do was be obedient.

With this thought in his heart, Iris had already stepped into the middle of the dark space.

A soft whisper rang in Iris's ears.

"come over……"

"in……"

He subconsciously raised his head, with a little bit of surprise on his face, savoring the ancient and profound nature of that strange power, and completely believed the information the Lord had provided him.

"Sure enough, he is a demon of quite high status. Even within the seal, he can still cast such terrifying words of chaos..."

A faint red light appeared on Iris' armor, indicating that he was currently being attacked by psychic spells.

The big guy observing from a distance became busy subconsciously.

They immediately analyzed and recorded Iris's location, and demarcated some possible safety zones.

In the future, they will also conduct verification and experiments on this area to develop more uses.

"wealth……"

"Treasure..."

The subtle words of chaos kept echoing in Iris's ears.

He looked at the psychic protection device that was turned on at half power, and then turned down the power a little to make the faint words of chaos clearer.

Feeling the familiar temptation and touch, Iris raised the corners of her mouth slightly and walked slowly further into the dark space.

Where he just stayed, a metal rod emitting milky white light was inserted into the ground.

The dazzling holy light formed a small purification barrier, attracting everyone's attention.

Iris continued to move forward until the strange chaotic words in his ears were no longer intermittent as before, but became a complete sentence.

"Young elf, come to me quickly. I have all the treasures you want."

After hearing this, Iris pursed his lips as if nothing had happened, glanced at the recorded data, and continued in a calm tone:

"Your speaking skills are very average. You should learn from other demonology, otherwise you won't be able to attract others at all."

After hearing what Iris said, the strange voice disappeared for a while, and then continued to ring in his ears:

"I admire your pride and confidence, but it's a pity that you know nothing about strength."

Recalling the many incredible buildings and equipment he saw in the Gulf Territory, Iris looked around the desolation and ruins, suddenly chuckled and said:

"It's been so long and you haven't shown up yet, so you probably haven't broken free from the seal yet."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, if it's just this level of power, I'm afraid it's not worthy of too much praise."

I noticed that the voice suddenly disappeared, and the numerical reminder of the psychic attack continued to grow stronger.

Iris' face couldn't help but reveal a bright smile.

He thought that in the past, he had to devote his whole body and soul to fight against the Word of Chaos, but now he could easily bear it.

He has great admiration and trust in the lord for taking precautions.

Noticing that the value of the psychic attack reached 3 points for the third time, there was no movement anymore. Iris wrote down a record that he had never noticed before:
"The words of chaos caused a total of 278 points of damage, and the interval will be relatively long. The psychic protection device can completely resist."

"The opponent's continuous combat capability is relatively weak and should still be in a sealed state. Further exploration and research can be carried out..."

When Iris said this, he did not mean to hide it from the other party, but showed it blatantly.

He believed very much in what the lord said, and believed that even these twisted demons would feel angry, confused, and afraid.

Iris was very determined, striding forward and recording everything he saw.

The small purification barrier he left behind gradually illuminated this huge dark space.

Ruins all over the ground.

Countless wreckage.

A huge broken golem.

Amazingly huge fragments of metal machinery.

Huge broken buildings like hills.

The entire space displayed seemed like the ruins of a civilization.

Everyone who saw this scene couldn't help but widen their eyes.

Such a horrifying scale of ruins was actually buried underground so quietly that it has not been known to people for thousands of years.

Now, the tentacles of development and exploration in the Gulf Territory have truly spread here.

"Is this the strength of the Goblin Empire?"

Suppressing the unspeakable excitement in his heart, Leon began to think quickly.

Just judging from the scale of these buildings and the huge number of ruins in the Death Desert, it is enough to illustrate the productivity and combat effectiveness of the Goblin Empire.

Judging from the comparison of strength, it is stronger than most of the kingdoms and territories that Lyon knows.

But even such a powerful existence failed to leave a single trace in the historical record.

Even the goblins who are seeing these ruins now are looking at them with strange eyes.

"What destroyed the Goblin Empire?"

"What crushed them into the dust of history?"

Leon, who had learned to think, looked at the figure walking into the darkness with some worry.

He is very worried whether his excavation here will find the reason for the destruction of the Goblin Empire, thus posing a fatal threat to the Gulf Territory.

It has to be said that Lyon, who can be expected here, has grown extremely well compared to before.

His height of thinking and breadth of vision are no longer the same as the young soldier before.

The staff quickly recorded the ruins.

They want to analyze the value of this ruins and the possible reserves of materials.

From this we can figure out how many adventurers and soldiers the Gulf Territory needs to send to open up wasteland and explore here.

The civil engineer troops stepped up construction of the forward base.

Set up a purification barrier array that can resist ghost monsters, weaken deformed monsters, and fight against possible enemies.

Also be prepared for a quick escape route.

The combat troops are preparing for combat and are ready to support Iris at any time.

If they are involved in a battle next, they will try to last as long as possible to collect more enemy information while also preparing for the evacuation of others.

Leon rubbed his fingers gently, thinking about backup plans in various situations. Suddenly he saw Iris in the distance and stopped, and subconsciously stood up.

Click!Click!Click!
Iris looked at the slowly activated giant construct golems, swept away the thick dust and dirt on their bodies, and calmly took a step back.

The huge six- to seven-meter-tall golem immediately stopped standing up and slowly squatted back, like two dilapidated and decayed sculptures.

"After so long, the reaction is still so sensitive. No wonder those monsters regard this place as a restricted area."

"This is completely different from the construct golem we encountered before. It still has energy supply..."

"The place they are guarding should be the area where the demon is sealed."

"In such a violent explosion and destruction, none of them were destroyed. It must be very hard and the space should be very large..."

Listening to Iris' "self-talk", the strange whisper that had been silent just now suddenly sounded in his ears:

"Want to know how to defeat the Reaper 3000 construct?"

Shrugging his shoulders without hesitation, Iris said nonchalantly:
"I don't want to know. With these two big guys guarding the door, I feel very relieved. Don't you think so? Balrog-Baroque?"

As soon as Iris finished speaking, Baroque's eager and irritable voice came to his ears:
"Who are you? Where did you get the news about me? What is your purpose?" "It is impossible for the Cole elves to know my existence. They don't even dare to understand the Goblin Empire."

"Ah! I know, you must have crawled from the abyss..."

The voice stopped suddenly, and Iris, who was listening carefully, subconsciously raised his eyebrows.

He did not continue to ask, and behaved extremely calmly, bypassing the range of Death God's 3000 alerts, without any thought of activating them or testing their attack range.

Even the legendary Fire Demon Baroque is wary of their existence, which means that the other party is not as bulky and incomplete as it appears.

Iris, who has explored many ruins and come into contact with an astonishing number of constructs, has no idea of ​​changing the status quo.

He had seen with his own eyes that many old and dilapidated structures showed super strength.

Some can even easily suppress a team of extraordinary adventurers, and there are also many constructs that can kill extraordinary adventurers.

In the ruins of many ruins, the constructs that are still able to move are sometimes far more dangerous than the monsters and evil they are looking for and fighting.

Iris has also seen with his own eyes the disastrous consequences caused by some reckless adventurers and team members recklessly attacking the broken structures guarding the seal.

Iris keeps her mission in mind and just explores for more information.

Don't fight unless necessary.

Noticing Iris' behavior, Baroque felt faintly uneasy in his heart and continued to roar in his ear:

"It's useless. Your observation is destined to be in vain. All the treasures are inside the seal!"

"Let me take a look at the last legacy of the Goblin Empire, the legendary magic equipment and props stored in the time storage..."

"Heaps of gold coins, the secret of immortality, you can find it all here..."

After walking half a circle around the entrance to the huge ruins, Iris stared curiously at the surging river in the distance.

He felt the heat rising slightly from the surface of the river, and was vaguely aware of the danger contained in it.

Listening to Baroque's seductive nagging, Iris remained unmoved and even couldn't help but stab him:
"The things you mentioned are really not alluring to an elf like me."

"I still have a long life, my strength is also very strong, and I still have a lot of good times to live."

"On the contrary, you yourself, even though you are with these treasures all day long, are reduced to a miserable state of being unable to move. You are not convincing at all!"

When Baroque heard what Iris said, he suddenly felt a little angry.

He has never seen an elf who dared to speak so brazenly in front of him!
However, Baroque was unable to refute what Iris said. Compared with his current miserable situation, the resentment accumulated for thousands of years burst out.

Gollum!Gollum!
Iris felt waves of rolling heat spreading from the underground area to the surrounding areas.

In the big river not far away, a series of bubbles appeared. The water in the river seemed to be boiling, and it kept making a gurgling sound.

Even the surrounding air has become hotter.

If you get angry, there will be such a big movement!

Although Iris was amazed by Baroque's strength, it did not prevent him from continuing to tease this guy.

"Tsk, tsk, I just said a few words to you, why are you still angry?"

"Isn't it just to be locked up for thousands of years? Just treat it like a nap."

"Demons have a long lifespan anyway, and it's usually difficult for them to die of old age."

"Oops? I understand. Are you going to be the first demon to die of old age?"

"This is really interesting news. If you allow me, I will record the process and send it to those who are interested."

"Maybe after being sent back to the abyss and reincarnated, you will be able to hear this interesting story again."

Iris's words were like poisonous thorns, piercing deeply into Baroque's heart, causing him to roar in anger.

Feeling the cathartic power of Baroque's anger, Iris, who had achieved his goal, had a brighter smile, and his attitude towards this demon was quietly changing.

"Oh, he actually got angry from embarrassment. He is indeed a devil with a head full of muscles."

"No wonder he was locked up and kept as a pet."

"It's not okay for you to get so excited just by saying a few words. Try to be more steady first and don't get too carried away..."

Just to Iris, Baroque didn't seem to be a big deal.

Anyway, He has always been sealed and cannot pose any threat to him.

"Ding, I was attacked by psychic power and lost 145 points of energy protection. Now it will be automatically replenished. The current energy protection value is 355 points."

The clear and pleasant sound alerted Iris, who was talking non-stop.

He subconsciously raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, but suddenly he touched a hard helmet, and was suddenly shocked.

He almost fell into the Baroque way without even realizing it!
The smile on Iris's lips slowly faded, and he continued with a rather emotional tone and tone:

"As expected of you, even acting can be used as a weapon."

"If it were me in the past, maybe you would have taken care of me."

After hearing this, Baroque suddenly realized that His plan had been exposed.

The original manic roar immediately disappeared without a trace.

The high temperature that spread quickly dropped.

Even the roaring river not far away gradually returned to calm.

If the battle information hadn't been displayed in front of him, Iris wouldn't have believed that he was in fatal danger just now.

Iris immediately filled up the psychic protection device with energy, and was very happy in his heart. However, he did not let Baroque go at all, and continued to say leisurely:
"It's a pity that the mind control power you just released was too little. If you could have a little more, you might have succeeded."

"Really, it's just a little bit different..."

Iris raised his hand to make a gesture, noticed the black shadow flashing under the water, and subconsciously distanced himself from the river.

He still had no intention of fighting, but instead became very patient and "chatted" with Baroque.

He was not convinced by the failure just now and wanted to continue competing with Baroque.

Of course, Iris had already sent the situation back to the rear and started to return.

I got enough news today.

With the magic of Lord Matthew, and the means and power of various talents from the Gulf Leader.

Baroque, whose traces have been revealed, is destined to become the "trophy" of the Gulf Territory.

After noticing that Iris had returned safely, Leon did not immediately approach him. Instead, he signaled the other party to conduct a protective test and perform a purification ceremony at the same time.

He just saw the dazzling red light emitted when Iris came into contact with the small purification barrier.

Iris naturally knew the process. It was a pity that Baroque did not continue to "communicate" with him and skillfully started the self-test and purification process of the Thunder Magic Armor.

Click!

Flashing thunder kept jumping on the magic armor.

Feeling the excitement of thunder and lightning washing over his body, Iris couldn't help but tremble for a while.

Although there was a little tingling and numbness all over his body, Iris could clearly feel the indescribable relief coming from deep in his heart.

Even if he is careful enough, he still gets contaminated by things he shouldn't touch.

Fortunately, after going through the purification ceremony, Iris was basically out of danger, and Leon immediately came over to respond.

Fortunately, there was no danger, and Leon took Iris back to the large purification circle that was opened.

Iris took the new purification potion specially made by Bay Collar and drank it in one gulp. Feeling the bitter taste reverberating in his mouth, he couldn't help but pursed his lips:
"The smell is too weird."

Leon drank a drink of his own accord, feeling the bitter stimulation sobering his brain, and helplessly told the researcher Alona's answer:
"It is this unique taste that purifies and clears the brain, ensuring it is not confused and contaminated."

"What were found inside? Is there any intelligence or information that you want to add?"

Iris turned to look at the darkness in the distance, and replied softly with emotion:

"This is the core area of ​​a goblin ruins, but there is a high probability that there is no treasure. The greater possibility is that it is a fatal seal."

"There is at least one legendary-level Balrog sealed inside. The seal has also been damaged to a certain extent, causing it to release its influence to the outside..."

Leon listened to this valuable information and sent it back to the Gulf Territory. Looking at Iris who was still a bit unfinished, he said with emotion:

"You have gained a lot this time. You have exceeded the task set by the Lord. You will definitely get what you want."

Recalling the transformation scenes he encountered in the underground laboratory, Iris took a long breath of anticipation, shrugged his shoulders and replied:

"I'm not good enough yet. I still have a lot of skills and expertise to train. It will probably take about half a month..."

Recalling the reminder given to him by the old village chief, Leon also vaguely reminded Iris:
"You can make preliminary adaptations in advance, and then there will be big changes in the territory."

Iris was a little stunned when he heard the news. He met Leon's very determined eyes and nodded with emotion.

He is still a little uncomfortable with the unabashed kindness of the Gulf leaders and their lack of thoughtful communication.

Perhaps, this is where Iris still needs to continue to learn and receive education.

He needs to open up more, accept and integrate into the Bay Area.

However, while Iris was waiting for the Gulf Leader's reply, he was also very curious about the situation in front of him and couldn't help but ask:
"There is obviously considerable excavation value here, shouldn't we concentrate our efforts to solve it?"

In Iris's impression, there are very few forces and organizations that can refuse to excavate such relics.

Whether you obtain some special magic items or recycle some special technologies, it can bring quite astonishing benefits.

Leaving such a huge mountain of gold untouched gave Iris a special feeling.

Leon understood that Iris had not yet fully adapted to the Gulf leader's style of behavior, so he explained to him with a smile:
"The reason is simply that we don't need to do destructive excavation."

"We will clean and repair everything here in the coming time to ensure that nothing of value is missed."

"It's going to be a very long process and it could take several years."

"This is absolutely safe and can provide the best rewards for adventurers who come here to take risks."

"Of course, we're going to take care of the hard stuff before we open this place up."

From Leon's tone, Iris did not hear his fear or worry about Baroque, and a little thought emerged in his heart involuntarily.

He knew very well how powerful and terrifying Baroque was, and he was a little worried that the Gulf Leader had underestimated him.

Before Iris could give another reminder, the rumble of the golem train came from inside the passage.

When Matthew and Yaya got off the train, Iris, who was about to remind them, immediately gave up the worry.

The reason is simple. Behind Matthew and Yaya are closely followed Beelzebub, who is huge, burly and exuding a powerful aura, and the Mo Dao team he leads.

The current Mo Dao team is not like the original formation, wearing thick and slightly bulky heavy armor.

Every member of the Modao Team wears magic mechanical armor produced and manufactured by Victor Research Institute!
The Magic Mechanical Armor is quite large, sacrificing the powerful mobility and flight capabilities of the Thunder Magic Armor in order to gain considerable strength and defense.

Unlike the Thunder Magic Armor, which relies on its own power, the Magic Mechanical Armor has a certain degree of energy supply, providing the user with additional strength enhancement and amplification.

At the expense of some flexibility, the magic mechanical armor can further strengthen the members of the Modao Team. They already have a strong push and crushing rhythm!
Feeling the powerful aura emanating from them, Iris keenly noticed that each of them already possessed the strength of a high-level professional.

Especially Beelzebub and several team leaders who were leading the way gave him a vague sense of threat.

This made Iris feel quite emotional.

Only in the Gulf Territory could he frequently feel threatened by professionals whose strength was lower than his own.

Matthew looked through the information collected by Iris and the staff, then turned to look at the conspicuous seal.

He hesitated for a while, then turned to Beelzebub and others who were following him and said:
"To clear a path, we need to get close to the seal entrance and observe carefully."

The first ones to come on stage were naturally the civil engineers.

They excitedly controlled the bulldozing golems delivered by the golem train, and shoveled away the dense ruins as quickly as possible.Clear a path.

The huge movement made the silent space lively.

Baroque, who was aware of the threat, looked nervously at the Gulf leaders who were getting closer and closer.

To his surprise, the usually invincible whispers of chaos and spiritual corrosion had no effect on this group of mortals.

He felt the long-lost "fear", and very decisively "find" Matthew who was walking at the front, and said in a seductive tone:

"You are welcome to come. As long as you can release me, you will gain countless wealth and power."

"You can even gain my allegiance, my dear True Dragon!"

A real dragon?

interesting!
"It's a pity that I don't have time to play with you right now!"

"Otherwise, we can have a good discussion about the seal!"

Matthew raised his eyebrows and didn't pay much attention to Baroque's "temptation".

He knew very well that Baroque was a very slippery demon.

He looked at the sealed entrance getting closer and closer, and noticed the decaying Death God 3000.

He "looked" at the elemental fusion engine that exuded dazzling and charming light, shook his head calmly and said:

"Don't worry, we are not here to find you. You should just lie down in there."

Bay collar refuses to accept temptation!

As long as you can get the "benefits"!
